Chapter 736: The Second Battlefield

Dengxian, General's Office.

Qin Li's face was as swollen as a pig's liver. He slapped Liang Da's table with a stern voice: "General Liang, time is no longer waiting, time is no longer waiting, have you not seen that the defense system of the Ming army in Fengxian County is getting better and better, and are there more troops gathering? Attack, attack, wait for one more day, and then I will make my Daqierlang bleeding more!"

Liang Da slowly drank tea, looked at Qin Li, and said lightly: "Mr. Qin, pay attention to your attitude. I am not your subordinate. Yes, I want to attack too, but without the orders above, would I dare to send troops casually? Now the subsequent troops have not been settled, and the food and supplies have not been collected. There is neither food and grass nor military orders. How can you ask me to send troops!"

Qin Li looked at the other party angrily, "General Liang, General Guo's order to act on the camera, not to let you stick to the old rules, plan is worse than change. The barbarians launched in advance, but the Ming army had already prepared. Obviously, the Ming people had discovered Li Wei and Ge Xiang's secret. This is their strategy to lure the enemy. They fought this time difference. You are missing the military opportunity, do you know?"

Liang Da spread his hands, "I really dare not send troops at will without military orders."

Qin Li looked at him helplessly. In just over ten days, the situation had changed drastically. The Zhengyang County City, which was originally planned to be successfully captured, is still in the hands of the Ming army. Li Weige Township's swearing alliance Liao Hui transformed into the most staunch supporter of the Ming people.

Under Zhengyang County, blood flowed into a river, but the city remained unmoved. Whether it was the original Li Wei and Gexiang, or the main force of the barbarians who arrived later, they were bleeding from their heads under Zhengyang County.

What's even worse is that in Xinhua, the Yuanpu army's main force of the Yan army was killed by the Ming army's Panshi Camp and Ruijin Camp, and almost all the troops were destroyed. Only Yuanpu led a few troops to escape under Zhengyang County. The most ridiculous thing was that Wang Gui's troops who attacked Tzu Chi had more than 20,000 people surrendered to the Ming people.

Now in Xinhua, the Ming army in Tzu Chi is gathering up to the battlefield of Princess Zhengyang. Another main battle camp of the Ming army, Canglang Camp, directly cut off the connection between the barbarian army and the four counties in the northern region. Murong Hong's general Murong Kang repeatedly led his troops to open up this contact channel, but he was unable to do it in the face of the defense of Canglang Camp.

In other words, the barbarian army is now trapped under Zhengyang County City. Every day, they are close to the fate of being annihilated. There is 50,000 people. Qin Li doesn't need to think about how much food they have to eat every day, but now, the barbarian army has long lost logistics supply.

If Qi did not send troops to respond quickly, the barbarians would not last long.

But this General Liang remained unmoved under such a major change in form, sticking to his previous plan and ignoring Qin Li's request to send troops immediately.

Almost every day, Qin Li had to make a fuss, but every day he got the same answer.

Qin Li was anxious, but he could do nothing.

Whether it is his spies or Liang Da's spies, the information he brings back every day is undergoing huge changes in Fengxian County. From the initial 5,000 garrisons to now, tens of thousands of troops have gathered. God knows whether there will be many people coming here. Compared with the number of troops, what is more worrying is that the defense system there has gone from a simple city wall to an overall defense that has expanded several miles.

Even though Qin Li had never commanded a large army to fight, he knew that in this way, the cost of attack would greatly increase. If he could not quickly occupy Shayang County and open up the passage to Zhengyang County, when the Ming army in Zhengyang took over the barbarian army, a large number of them would inevitably pour into Shayang County. By then, a small half of the plans of Da Qi had fallen into the empty space.

He held his head with both hands and sighed.

There was a rushing footsteps outside the door. Qin Li raised his head, but his eyes straightened in an instant, and he stood up suddenly, "Mr. Cao!" After the big case, Liang Da, who was drinking tea leisurely, jumped up in a panic.

The person who came was the boss of the ghost, Cao Hui.

"Mr. Cao!" the two shouted in unison.

Cao Hui looked grim, "Call the generals to discuss matters immediately."

When Qin Li heard Cao Hui's words, he was very happy. Lord Cao was a sensible person, and of course he also saw the troubles now.

After a while, the Qi army generals of the county had already stood in two neat rows in the lobby. Seeing that Liang Da was not Liang Da but Cao Hui was sitting on the main seat, most of them looked surprised, and not many people recognized Cao Hui.

"Which one is Mao Dun?" Cao Hui asked directly.

A general from the hall came out and bowed with his fists: "I have seen Mao Shin, I have met the lord."

"From now on, you will be in charge of the 10,000 Qi troops in Dengzhou. Immediately, immediately, launch an attack on the Ming army in Fengxian County." Cao Hui said sternly.

"Ah?" Mao Dun was shocked and looked up at Liang Da who was standing beside Cao Hui. At this moment, Liang Da's face was already bloodless. "Sir, there is no military order or no big seal?"

Cao Hui snorted coldly: "I am Cao Hui." He grabbed the seal on the table and threw it to Mao Dun, "Now you are the supreme commander of this army. I hope to see your army launch an attack in Fengxian tomorrow."

As soon as he heard the name Cao Hui, Mao Dun was overjoyed. He held up the seal with both hands and shouted: "I have the order, and I will go and rectify the army immediately. Tomorrow, our Daqi army will launch an attack on the enemy army in Fengxian on time."

Cao Hui nodded and glanced at the generals in the hall: "What are you still standing here for? Get ready immediately. The war has begun, now, right now."

Cao Hui's roaring voice sounded in the lobby, and many generals immediately turned around and rushed out in a hurry. No one looked at Liang Da with a look of earth.

The lobby was empty, Cao Hui sat down with a gloomy face, and Liang Da knelt down with a loud voice beside him.

Cao Hui ignored him and just looked at Qin Li: "Do you think Mao Dun can take Fengxian in three days?"

Qin Li shook his head: "If it was launched ten days ago, Bei Zhi thought it was possible, but now, I am afraid it won't work. These days, the county soldiers from all over Shayang are gathering in Feng County, where there are almost tens of thousands of people."

"Three days later, General Guo Xiancheng will lead the main force to arrive." Cao Hui took a deep breath: "Then how long do you think the barbarians under Zhengyang County City can last?"

"It's hard to say." Qin Li was a little worried, "The key is food and grass. This time the matter was too hasty. The original plan was that Zhengyang County City could easily get it, and it was early October. It was the time for the autumn harvest festival. Zhengyang is a grain-producing area, so there is no shortage of food and grass. But now, everything is gone. If the army has no food and grass, it will be messed up. Once there is no food and grass, it will be over."

"The main force of the barbarians still exists, and there are not many Ming troops surrounding them. If they can break the Ming army's siege, there will be a chance to turn the tables." Cao Hui narrowed his eyes, "It depends on the barbarians themselves now. Our hopes do not need to be placed on them. The Qin army is our partner of cooperation. The barbarians can restrain themselves under Zhengyang City as long as they can."

"Sir, I'm worried about this now." Qin Li said worriedly: "The Ming army's flood camp that originally besieged the barbarians, the Jumu camp disappeared. The other major miners' camps of the Ming army did not participate in the Zhengyang battle, and Qin Feng's Fire Death Camp did not appear. They did not seem to be in a hurry to eliminate the barbarians immediately. I doubt if they already knew the Qin army's plan. These soldiers and horses were already moving towards the Kaiping direction."

Cao Hui nodded: "I think so too, but the information has not come back for a long time. The guess is not confirmed. The Eagle Nest has grown faster and faster in the past two years, and it can actually cover up the battlefield news in such a large area."

"Sir, Eagle Nest has its own special unit called Eagle Falcon. Do you know? This time they participated in the Battle of Zhengyang County together before they officially appeared." Qin Li said.

"What do you want to say?" Cao Hui asked.

"Sir, don't you think our ghosts also need such a unit?" Qin Li whispered.

"Stop!" Cao Hui immediately cut off Qin Li's words: "You think I'm not annoying enough, right? Don't mention this matter again in the future. Da Qi is not the Ming Kingdom, and our Majesty is not Qin Feng."

The last sentence lowered the voice.

Qin Li nodded.

"In fact, without waiting for the information from the Ming Dynasty, I can guess that Qin Feng's army must have gone to Kaiping." Cao Hui said lightly: "It's just that his troops are not sure of victory against Deng Pu's 100,000 troops. If you raise the Ming army, the victory will be four and six, and Qin and Ming four."

"That's right, Deng Pu has been fighting for a long time, and the Qin army is not comparable to the barbarians." Qin Li smiled and said, "Even if the barbarians collapsed, Qin Qi and the two countries attacked each other on both sides, the Ming people couldn't last long. I was just curious. Qin Feng guessed that we would send troops and it was a good fate. How did he guess that Qin would send troops? They were close allies with the Deng family. This time they suddenly launched early, and it must be because they knew this."

"Of course someone provided them with intelligence." Cao Hui said: "Guess who is the biggest possibility?"

"If it is really the news revealed by the Qin people, then I guess it is Bian Wushuang." Qin Li thought for a while and said.

"Yes, it must be him." Cao Hui shook his head, "When it comes to his own interests, there will always be people who forget the interests of the country and put their own interests first."

He sneered and kicked Liang Da who was still kneeling at his feet: "Liang Da, am I right?"

Liang Da was trembling all over and didn't dare to say a word when he was kneeling.

"Get out! I don't want to see you again!" Cao Hui scolded.

Liang Da raised his head, looked at Cao Hui, stood up staggeringly, walked out the door, and just stepped out of the door, a knife penetrated into his trunk like lightning from the outside of the door.

The knife retracted like lightning. Liang Da squatted down slowly while covering the wound in pain, trying his best to turn his head around to look at Cao Hui behind him. Qin Li's eyes contracted when he saw this scene.

"This person accepted bribes from the Ming army, so he delayed his advance. He really didn't know how to live or die, and he dared to ask for any money." Cao Hui sneered, "It's more than death."
